lmao @ all the scrohs who been riding Anderson's nutsack, Pop obviously don't think he is part of their long term plans, after coming back last year fat and out of shape (after a friggin toe injury no less)
bye bye fatass, o Danny Green
Is james anderson still on the team?

I don't believe it's obvious -- definitely not as obvious as Hill's not being part of their long term plans.
Connecting the dots is really all anyone had to do with Anderson.
The emergence of Neal last year was the first nail in Anderson's coffin. His motivational issues (ie getting fat in 2 months) was the 2nd nail. The final nail was Leonard coming aboard.
There's just no room/PT left for him. Manu and Neal will take all his minutes at the 2, and Jefferson & Leonard will take them at the 3. Unless Pop's plan is to have Neal backing up Parker (which I doubt seriously even Pop is that dumb) he'll be toros bound next year.
Pop will probably keep the cheaper, better version of Anderson (Danny Green) around for when they need size and defense at the wings.
James Anderson has more talent and potential than Danny Green. Green is roster filling 12th man talent who couldn't get PT on the Cavaliers.
Given your track record of predictions regarding Hill's future on the team, I'll just ignore this one.
You're welcome.
The Spurs never do anything until they have to. What if he were to destroy his knee in unsanctioned workouts and could never play again? They'd be on the hook to pay that salary for year 3 if they picked up his option. Now, they're not.
As was related already in the thread, the spurs had to pick up the option July 1st, because of the lockout. Anderson is now on a very short list of options not picked up from around the league. Securing Anderson for the future appears not to be a huge priority for the spurs FO and for once I agree with their reasoning.
Much as I try, I can't control what mistakes the FO makes.
Anderson may have been a better scorer in college but Green was the better all around player IMO and has a better chance of finding a niche in the nba.
That's your interpretation. The actual deadline for year 3/4 options is the end of training camp, usually sometime in Oct, which now will not happen until the lockout ends.
I'm so sure that they will pick up his option, I'm willing to do an ELE bet with you right now, today. After the resolution of his contract/extension issue, loser doesn't post on ST until the playoffs. Put up or shut up.
Little premature to assume anything regarding Anderson's option, until we hear otherwise.
I'd really hate to see you lose your posting priviledges. Part of my daily entertainment consists of seeing what all the homers are saying. Never gets old.
Perhaps something a little less drastic, like a sig bet?
I think it's pretty "assumable" that Pop & FO didn't care enough to pick up the option heading into the uncertain waters of the lockout. Which is telling of what they think of him so far.
They might pick it up at some future point if the mood strikes them...it's still fairly cheap and Manu is injury prone. But Anderson is going to have to really impress in what will probably be limited minutes in order to crack into the rotation now.
I don't think it's telling of anything. It likely has less to do with their evaluation of Anderson and more to do with delaying fiscal decisions to the last possible moment (assuming this was not a hard deadline, or that they did not already quietly pick up his option).
(a) Each Rookie Scale Contract between a Team and a First Round Pick shall cover a period of two (2) Seasons, but shall have an Option in favor of the Team for the player’s third Season and a second Option in favor of the Team for the player’s fourth Season. The Option for the player’s third Season shall be exercisable during the period from the day following the last day of the first Season through the immediately following October 31. The Option for the player’s fourth Season shall be exercisable during the period from the day following the last day of the second Season through the immediately following October 31. Such Options shall be exercisable by notice to the player that is either personally delivered to the player or his representative or sent by pre-paid certified, registered, or overnight mail to the last known address of the player or his representative, signed by the Team, informing the player that the Team has exercised such Option.
This is a quote from the NBA Players Collective Bargaining Agreement, Article: Rookie Salary Scale. It appears that the Spurs have until October 31, 2011 to exercise Anderson's option.
so that means the clippers gave up on blake griffin too because i have not heard anything about picking up his option for the moment.
Man, that was one of the quickest walkbacks in ST history.
They did.

Sham put together a list of player who had their options picked up and those who didn't.
http://blog.shamsports.com/2011/07/w...1st-other.html
Notice there is no team that did both. It looks like teams some teams simply decided to make the decisions early and some didn't.
The following players did not have their 2012/13 rookie scale team options exercised, yet:
- Charlotte: Gerald Henderson
- Detroit: Greg Monroe and Austin Daye
- Houston: Patrick Patterson, Jonny Flynn, Hasheem Thabeet, Jordan Hill and Terrence Williams
- Memphis: Xavier Henry and Greivis Vasquez
- New Jersey: Damion James
- New Orleans: Quincy Pondexter
- New York: Toney Douglas
- Orlando: Daniel Orton
- Philadelphia: Jrue Holiday, Craig Brackins and Evan Turner
- San Antonio: James Anderson
now i feel good the spurs are going to keep anderson because that is a really good group of players to let them go.
Dead on tbh.
Given the high quality of some of the players whose option hasn't been picked. It's hard to envisage that teams won't have the option to pick the option after the lockout.
While it's easy to understand why some teams hasn't picked the option (less guarantee money in case of an injury, more flexibility..), it's more difficult to understand why so much teams have picked options. The best explanation I can come from is that with more guaranteed money in their contract, it will be harder for players to go overseas and play for a new team. I'm not sold on it so you're welcome if you have a better explanation.
Don't forget, though, that that do ent no longer has any meaning. As of this week, it got torn up.
